I don't agree. Peel away 2% of the Biden vote in the last election and the result is different.

While the Rs' margin for error is even slimmer, it's not like the Ds are playing from a position of significant electoral advantage. Not in our present system.
Is he running as a third party candidate? If not then he is trying to primary the sitting President in his reelection campaign and would not be in the general election pulling votes from Biden.
No, at this point, he's running as a democrat.

...about 15 percent of Democrats say they support Kennedy, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, as opposed to 62 percent who favor Biden...,

Having him in the primaries hammering Biden constantly will likely take at least some toll.

And with groups like "No Labels" looking so intently for a way to split the democratic vote, and Fox News airing dozens of segments about Kennedy’s campaign and treating him as a serious rival to Biden, and support from former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey who has endorsed him and Elon Musk tweeting him encouragement, it wouldn't surprise me if Jr could become an attractive candidate for some interest group for the general.
Those polling numbers are because very few people have paid attention yet and some of the older crowd of Dems recognize his name. As soon as he gets on a national stage and starts to share his idiotic takes, he is done.

If he doesn't have enough votes to win the Democratic ticket, which he definitely doesn't, then he is irrelevant. That's how our current system works. He'll grunt out a few goofball conspiracies and Dems will see that he is just as bat shit crazy as Trump. He is going to be completely exposed.

Feels like a name-recognition play for either the Texas governorship, or 2028.

generally, yes

in this particular case, it has yet to be determined if it matters

Education is a proxy for neither intelligence nor informedness, but I recall there’s a poster on this board who has suggested things that are not consistent with this polling.

Today In: The "Pro Business", "Freedum" party:

Speaking of 'not a serious people", can you believe this crook, who took the 5th 75 times during his deposition related to the Medicare fraud committed while he was CEO of Columbia/HCA Hospitals, is considering a run for president? Isn't he the 2nd most hated republican senator by other republican senators next to Rafael Cruz? (I know there's a lot of competition, but...)

So, it isn't enough for Gov DeSantis to attack one of the state's largest employers and create potentially disastrous problems for the state's tourism, hospitality, agricultural, and construction industries here by threatening to arrest undocumented immigrants and their family members as of July 1st, but now, Rick Scott says: Hold my beer:
